Stop Smoking Advisor Scheme
Are
you interested in helping people to stop smoking? If so this scheme could be
for you.
You will be trained to work
(Voluntarily) to help groups or individuals who are trying to give up smoking.
No particular skills are required to be a volunteer as full training and support
will be given.
It is important that volunteers are non-judgemental towards smokers and are sympathetic in their attitude to people trying to stop smoking.
People volunteering for this scheme will be required to complete an application form and attend an informal interview.
There is an initial two-day
course where volunteers can expect to gain;
Skills in working with groups. Satisfaction from helping people
Enjoyment from working as part of a team.
Knowledge and Expertise in Smoking and Health.

volunteering opportunities or to join a stop smoking group please contact:

Talking of smoking, do you
